, My invention relates to braids and refers more particularly to a braid wherein the weave is alternately upset to produce a wave 1 One object of my invention isto'provide a braid wherein the threads are alternately upset out of alignment with each other;

. Another object of my invention is topro vide a braid that has'a wave like effect in appearance.

, A further object of my invention is to provide a braid that is alternately upset from the edges to the central portion so as to produce a wave like effect inthe material. A still further object of my invention is to provide a braid first made up of a straight warp and a diagonal woof and then upsetting the warp alternately toward" the edges so that when thus upset the warp will give a wave like effect.

It is well known in the art that braids of different kinds have been produced but none of them have ever been made that produce the effect of this unique arrangement of the weave. a V

r I attain these objects bywthe means illus-.

v trated in the accompanying drawings, wherein similar numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views,in which 1,-

The weave shown in Figuresjl and 2 is I diagonal and made up ofthe cross threads or woof only, but it is obvious that other cross weaves could be used toproduce a similar effect.

This braid. is first wovenas shown in Fig:

ure. lwherein the threads 1 and-2 cross each the braid, providing 1930. Serial No. 437,079.

at 6, 8,10 and lQigas shown in Figure, 2 and when thus alternately pushed out there will be formed at 13a wave like arrangement of'threads substantially in the center of the braid as clearly seen in Figure 2, where-5 in. the angular spacing of the weave indi' cates the displacement of the threads.

It is: obvious that many variations of this offsetting method may unique effects produced.

Theweave shown in Figures 3 and'et is be usedand various madeup of the. diagonal or cross threads warp.f i

'Whenthe warp is. alternately upset or pushed out toward the edge or alternately out ofaligmnent in Iasimilar manner as like 14 and 15, constituting the woof and the longitudinal threads l6-constituting the I hereinbefore mentioned as at 17,18,19,20.and

21, the result as clearly shown in Figure 4, will give'a wave like effect.

Havingthus illustrated and described the j 5 preferred embodiment of my invention, I" do not wish to limit myself tot-he exact construction or arrangement of 'partsshown, since. it is evident that modifications be made therein, without departing from the'spirit of theinvention or scope of the claims, Iclaim: r r

1. A new article of'manufacture compris- 'ing a braid of diagonal weave wherein the threads. of the longitudinal central portion.

'a-rer alternately forced towards theouter' edge of the braid,-providing a wave-like Zone in the center of the braid. e I

t 2. A new article of manufacture comprising a braid of diagonal weave with a longi tudinally running Warp wherein'the threads I of the longitudinal central portion: are al:

ternately forced towards the outer edge of a,

a wave-like'zone in the center .of the. braid.
